Title: New member from England
Post by: Dave D on April 02, 2011, 12:53:13 PM
Hi All,

Just joined you this week after finding out about you from a chap with a "Girly" on a ride out last weekend.

I own a '93 Caspain blue Tiger which is one of the earliest ones with the colour coded crankcases. I have owned it for over 3 years now and carried out the following :-

replaced sprag-clutch, luckily mine has the inspection plate
centre-stand
progressive fork-springs
braided hoses throughout
Givi top-box with detachable top plate
rebuilt the wheels with stainless spokes and powder-coated (black) the original rims as they where badly corroded
replaced leaking fuel tap/replaced needle valves in carbs
just fitted Michelin Annekee 11 tyres, not ridden yet

I have tried to attach a couple of pictures with no luck. What is the largest size file that I can attach?

Just an idea how about a New Members section on the Forum?

Looking forward to many "chats" on here and wish I found it earlier.

All the best,

Dave.

Bollox to the rota. Take the time off. You know it'll be worth it just for the beer they have there. :lol:
